A/N First of all I hold no claim to Covert Affairs. I just like to play with the characters.

THis is slightly longer and on the silly side .Also no part of the "story" I'm telling.

I was wondering when Henry Wilcox was gonna show up again.

Enjoy and plaease show your love with a review or two.

STORY TIME

Panache-noun-an ornamental tuft (as of Feathers) especially on a helmet

Dash or flamboyance in style and action; verve

It was Friday night and the end of a risky op that had everybody holding their breath until they got the word that the plane carrying Annie had gotten airborne. Now Auggie, Jai and her found themselves getting more drunk that usual after an evening of darts, betting on darts and beer, plenty of beer.

Pushing aside his empty bottle Jai fumbled for his wallet and said, "It's clear that none of us are in any fit state to drive. And since we all rode in the same car I propose we call a cab and go to my place and crash."

"Why your place?" Auggie demanded.

Because my apartment has a guestroom as well as a sleeper couch. Besides I just restocked the fridge with beer," Jai answered.

"Sounds like a plan," Annie giggled pulling out her phone to call for a cab.

Arriving at Jai's apartment the tipsy trio made their way upstairs and were soon sprawled on the comfortable pieces of furniture enjoying the liquid refreshment. Tipping back his bottle Jai asked, "What shall we talk about next?"

Annie who was half sitting on Auggie spoke up. "Since you boys know all my embarrassing op situations I have yet to hear about yours."

"And I know just the one to share. Jai may deny it ever happened but I was there," Auggie said quickly.

Not the Comedy of Errors op, Auggie," Jai pleaded

"That was what Jai and I called it privately since everything that could go wrong did. Let's just say that certain things about our asset were not disclosed," Auggie explained.

"Now I'm definitely interested in hearing about it," Annie said.

"Our asset Alexis took quite a liking to Jai," Auggie replied.

"Alexis was actually a cross dresser named Alexi," Jai elaborated.

Exaggerating the assets seductive tone Auggie said, "Why don't we get to know each other better, pretty boy."

"And the whole thing went downhill from there," Jai spoke up. He turned to Annie. "Auggie's still jealous that he was ignored."

"No, I'm not!" the tech op protested and continued on with the tale.

By the time he finished Annie was howling with laughter and Jai was as red as he could possibly get. Tossing a pillow at her he said, "Okay everybody out. I wanna get some sleep. The guestroom is first door on the left past the exit to the hallway, my bedroom is on the right. If you want munchies the kitchen is second door on the left and bathroom is at the end of the hall. Annie, you take the guestroom."

Getting to her feet Annie helped Auggie to his and said, "Let's go get you tucked in."

"What about Jai?" the tech op asked.

"He can tuck himself in," she replied.

Retrieving his pillow Jai bopped her on the head with it saying, "I heard that."

Inside the bedroom she watched Auggie fumbling with the bedposts and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Looking for the notches," the tech op replied.

"I could say the same about yours," Annie commented.

"Touché," he replied lying down and letting her drape the blanket over him. Reaching up a hand he grabbed her wrist asking, "Don't I get a goodnight kiss?"

Giggling Annie bent down to quickly kiss his forehead and then headed for the guestroom.
